Turn pouch inside out. Fold the circular needle in half and arrange the stitches so that half are on one end of the needle and half are on the other needle end. Using a spare 4mm (US6) needle bind off using the 3-needle bind off method.

Weave in the loose ends using a tapestry needle.

Turn bag right side out. Make a twisted or crocheted cord using 3 m of the same or contrasting yarn. Weave the cord through the eyelets beginning at the centre of the bag lying flat.

We've just posted this pattern on our patterns page. The tubular cast on is a little challenging at first but is totally worth it as the brim gets a very nice stretch. There's lots of time to make a few for Christmas gifts. Enjoy!

We are celebrating Canada by posting this Love Canada pillow pattern for you to download on our new Patterns page. We used worsted weight yarn with 4mm needles for a firm fabric so your finished pillow will retain its shape for years to come. Have fun playing with colour as well.

Here's a quick project that's great for gifts. You only need one ball of yarn for each washcloth. Package it with lovely soap and your gift is complete. It's fun to make stacks of these in many colours. Enjoy!

We've put together some kits for you using Koigu KPM and KPPPM. They can be purchased in-store for $62. They include 4 skeins of Koigu and the pattern.

Of course there are more colours to choose from in store and you can put together your own kit. You can either purchase the pattern through the store or on line in Heidi's Ravelry store. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elbow-river.

We are pleased to announce that Stephanie will be teaching 2 classes at Pudding Yarn on September 21st and 22nd to help us celebrate our 10th anniversary. Be prepared to have a good laugh while learning something new about knitting.

Stephanie will share her years of experience and her many bags of tricks to make your knitting experience more of what you want it to be.

This interesting class examines the various techniques, attitudes and history of the most productive knitters, and is designed not necessarily to change how you knit (unless you want to) but to help you become the most efficient knitter you can be on your own terms. We’ll look at the various styles of knitting, and have some instruction on “lever knitting” (fixed needle knitting.) We’ll talk about techniques for knitting faster through changing what you do, and the way you think.

Knit Smart

$70 - Monday, September 21st 6PM - 9PM.

This lecture style class (that means mostly talking, like at University) deals with best practices in knitting, and talks about how to (usually) prevent knitting mistakes (mostly) fix them. Out of the myriad techniques, ideas, yarns, patterns and tools available to knitters, how can you be sure that the ones you choose will give you the results you want? This class looks at how to predict how knitting is going to work, very clever ways to solve knitting problems, and how to streamline knitting so that you’re doing less work, and creating better stuff.

You can sign up on this website under the Learn tab or by phone 403-244-2996 or in store. these classes will fill up quickly so sign up as soon as you can.

Join us on Wednesday, November 5th at 6 PM for an evening of fun while you learn how to knit with your arms and create this fabulous and cozy infinity scarf. The event is sponsored by www.juicebecause.ca so you can keep your energy up while knitting. By the end of the evening you will have completed your scarf so you can have a brief iphonography session with Lori to record your accomplishment - like the shot above!

Here is another quick project. This cowl takes advantage of the fabulous colours in Madelinetosh ASAP. It's a simple diagonal rib that gives you stunning results with minimal effort. You can easily make a stack of these for gifts.

We have added a new feature so that you can sign up for classes on line. We will be offering more on line treats for you in the coming months and ongoing. Enjoy a look at our store through the camera lens of Lori Andrews in the Gallery. Please stay tuned for more.
